Get Involved

In working towards our aims, the Scottish Youth Parliament promote the following values:

DEMOCRACY

All of our plans and activities are youth-led, and we are accountable to young people aged 14-25.  Our democratic structure, and the scale of direct participation across Scotland, gives us strength and sets us apart from other organisations. 

INCLUSION

We are committed to being truly inclusive.  The Scottish youth parliament believes that all young people have the right to a voice, it doesn’t matter who we are or where come from.  We celebrate our diversity.

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

We are independent from political parties.  Only by working with all legitimate political parties can we make progress on the policies that are important to young people.

PASSION

We believe that drive and energy are key to successful campaigning.  We are passionate about the issues and believe that young people are part of the solution, not the problem.
